Teak Teak Teak

Along with working on the stringers and cross bracing in the hull this past week, we’ve been working on the teak accents.  Our Patriots come standard with varnished teak hand rails, toe rails and varnished teak cap.  This Patriot II will have all of the above plus a teak deck and varnished teak windshield and coamings.  Lots of Teak!

Fall is making the Approach

Indoor Storage
We've already had several requests for winter work as well as storage.  Last winter season we were over capacity resulting in some of the boats being stored in the shop.  We are asking that if you would like to store with us to please let us know!

Steady Progress!
Patriot II hull almost complete!

New Patriot II

The Patriot II incorporates a change to the hull - we've put a plug in the mold (shown below) to create a shallow tunnel.  This will allow for a flatter shaft angle thereby giving it the ability to navigate shallower waters.  The patriot currently draws 34", we're approximating the Patriot II to draw 24".  A difference that matters in many of the Bay's shallower waters.
